ton, is on trial in the Criminal Court, charged
with DEMONSTRATING. Last September Q horse

er, were driven out of Acton, and were not recov-

Lydia A Sandersou, wife Of James a. San

only Yesterday he struck the plaintiff and
choked the daughter. 1t is related that

long time he has been addicted drink. and
has so neglected bis business that she has had to
take charge OF it. What wealth he has

The petition of Mrs. Mary j. Leonard. a
widow, to adopt Cora Ellen McCaskn. girl
eleven years of age, was heard by Judge Ayres
yesterday. and some interesting features
developed. The childs mother died when it was

that Mrs. Leonard should raise it. Recently
there has been an effort to get the child away
from Mrs Leonard, and in order to prevent sucn
step beng taken she asked for letters of

not granted. Thew were asked to show reason
why the appointment should not be made and
both went on the stand and testified that their
sister was not fit person to have charge of the

Tie object of Advertising.

Paper and Press: In these days the
whole status has changed. Merchants
advertise, not because their goods need
pushing of, but because in the pressure OF
new interests, new cares, long distances
and wider competition, the people find
it q great convenience to be told where
they can get what they require. Sensa-
tional advertising was once q species o I
mild humbug. It is now but another
form OF saving the busy, working
world from doing it's own
thinking and Investigating out
side of it's own special line OF life. The
people are gradually becoming convinc-
ed of this, and the few merchants who
have failed to see the sure and certain
end to which the growth of advertising
must lead, had better bestlr themselves.
No firm, it is safe to say which does not
advertise, and carefully, and with a
certain dignity need hope to hold out
successfully against those who do.

uNeeR's STRUGGLE.

Capt. Edward Unger to-day for the
murder of Louis Bohle, whose body the
defendant confessed to Inspector Byrnes

tensely realistic name the ciroum-
stances of the murder, closing with a
repetition of his confession. His manner
impressed the spectators to some. degree
with the business OF the theory of self
defense, the violence of Bohle being
dramatically illustrated. Unger related
the story of the night of horrer which
he passed while the body of Bohle was
behind the cot and had his ftful sleep
broken by horrible dreams, and In each
of them Bohle appeared standing at
his bed. Unger would start up and
epring out of bed. Again and again this
wac repeated. Unger SAID in closing: 81

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

How 1T Is Regulated in several States.
Omaha Bee: Minnesota has passed q
high license law modelled after Ne.
brsska's. New York is struggling with
the anne problem against the combined
assaults of the liquor dealers and brew
ers, who o their preference for
prohibition rather than for stringent
regulation of the liquor traffic. No one
knows better than saloon keepers that
prohibition does not prohibit and that
no license means free license. In the
city OF Leavenwortb, Kas., for instance,
there are 10 saloons which do not pay q
Q particle of tax to the state. The pro.
hibitionlsts of Kansas are able to pass
laws for the enforcement of their policy
OF q total extinction of the liquor traffic
bat they cannot obtain luries that will
convict offenders, and the extremists
have been forced to radical methods oil

out their plans.
The latest idea of the Kansas prohibi.
tionists is the creation of q "metropoli.
tan police" which shall attempt to main.
tain order and to enforce the law IN
every part of the state They admit
that the local authorities are unwilling
or unable to carry out the stringent reg.
ulatlons that have been devised for the
abolition Of the liquor traffic, and they
hope by this e%xpedient of a m%etropoli.
tau police board to suppress the liquor
trade. There complete failure thus far
to restrict the sale of intoxicating drinke
may be shown in a striking manner by
comparing the issue of government Ii
eenses to sell liquor in the
prohibition state of Kansas with
that in the high license state oil
Missouri. Though Missouri has a larger
population, Kansas takes out 1875 more
licenses than Missouri, and within the
last eight months more than 2 500 liquor
licenses have been issued to dealers in
Kansas. Club houses take the place oil
saloons and lure into dissipation the
young men who might shrink from the
publicity of the open bar. When the
saloons of Missouri are closed on Sundays
the drinking men who live close TO the
state line CROSS owe into prohibition

High license is the only genuine tenn
perance reformer. It closes up low grog-
geries and places upon every dealer an
incentive for inviting the effective

authorities. It gives every community
where il is believed that prohibition can
be enforced the right to refuse license
